Blogs & Wikis as WebQuest Tasks - NECC 2004: "Over 500 packed the room for this session. What follows is a summary with links for more detailed information.
WebQuests have continually evolved since their start nine years ago. Of course the web itself is also evolving and as new forms of web-based interaction emerge, it makes sense for WebQuests to incorporate them as long as they have a pedagogical justification. Two such forms are weblogs (blogs) and wikis. "

Read/Write Web: A Theory of Synchronicity for the Web: "A Theory of Synchronicity for the Web
In my previous post, Stasis and Synchronicity, I scratched the surface of something that's been bothering me recently. I've been sensing a degree of stasis in the blogging world, not to mention in my own life (and given what I wrote 12 days ago about weblogs being avatars, perhaps the two are intermingled). I finished my previous post with a rhyming play-on-words: I swapped 'MTV' for 'synchronicity' in the famous Dire Straits tune Money for Nothing.

Communities of practice are emerging as the most promising structures for building knowledge-based organizations. They are the key to the knowledge strategy of a growing number of leading companies, government agencies, and non-profits. Community development is new to most organizations, however, and there is an urgent need for accelerated learning in this area.Since we believe that communities of practice are the way to organize for knowledge, learning, and innovation, we are applying the method to ourselves.
